The Christmas party will be December 22nd from 11:00 to 1:00 and the parade will follow. 

We are in need of a new back door.  Gary will look into it. 

We will check into getting plants to put around the new marquee.

It was discussed that we need to buy more chairs for the clubhouse to replace the ones that are broken or missing. We need to buy 25 chairs.  Jack Doyle brought up the fact that we do not have enough garbage cans for the clubhouse and it was agreed that we need 2 more cans.

Committees:

It was decided to cancel the Chili Cook-off due to the fact that it was too close to the one being held by the church and there was not enough time to plan for another date.

The date was set for January 19, 2008 for a family pot-luck social from 12 – 4 pm.

There was more discussion about whether to charge at the different social events for the people who have not paid their dues.  At this time it was decided not to charge.  We will see how much it cost the association and address this again in the future.

The next entertainment committee meeting will be November 11th at 7:00 pm at the clubhouse.

Crime Watch:

There was discussion on how and when to distribute the new stickers for the cars. Matt Lacharite will have two different times to pick up stickers.  The first date will be Sat., November 17th from 10-12 and Tuesday, November 20th from 8 – 9 pm at the clubhouse.    Mike Musto asked that we have code enforcement attend the next meeting and that we request that they come through the neighborhood once a month.  Matt Lacharite brought up the fact that we are now on citizens patrol and the if you would like to patrol all you need to do is call and set up a time and date to drive the patrol car.  They are located at Lantana and Jog in the Home Depot Plaza.  The police have stated that there are three reasons crimes occur:  Desire, Ability, and Opportunity.  Just in the past month there were 7 gas thefts (gas tanks being punctured from underneath the car), 10 thefts, 5 vandalisms, 15 homes robbed, and 5 stolen tags.  The next crime watch meeting will be Dec. 13th at 7:00 pm.
